Google Workspace Associate Administrator — Question 15

Your company is undergoing a regulatory compliance audit. As part of the audit, you are required to demonstrate that you can preserve all electronic communications related to a specific project for a potential legal discovery process. You need to configure Google Vault to accomplish this goal. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Use the security investigation report to show Vault log events.
• B. Use the search and export functionality to identify all relevant communications within the project timeframe.
• C. Create a matter and a hold on all project-related data sources such as Email, Chat, and Drive within Google Workspace.
• D. Create a custom retention policy for the project data. Ensure that the policy covers the required retention period.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating a matter and a hold ensures that all project-related data is preserved and protected from deletion, which is vital for compliance with legal discovery processes. Options A and B do not actively preserve data, and option D, while helpful for retention, does not specifically address the requirement to hold data for legal purposes.
